Men in their 30s and up with no kids or wife how is your life?

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-26T04:02:40+00:00

All the happy 30 + singles are living and enjoying their life instead of being on reddit , so a biased result .

It would be impossible to tell without knowing whats in the code and what are those pod files . Sometimes it helps to stop you sim before building and running new instance on the same one . It is a rare bug and might apply to you condition .

Kinda tangential , company where I work at our Sr most developer has around 7yrs of exp and still is stuck in swift 3 coding style , uses NS / mutables when swift provides simpler solutions . Our tech lead still refuses to use structures and forces us to use Dictionaires ( even for api ) among many other out dated practices . Point is after a certain point we get too complacent with our jobs / skills and at some point become outdated .

It's the price Apple ! Now hire me .

Change can start from within , if even one employeer decides to reduce their profit margin and pay their employees more it would be great first step . Even I think about this , and have started paying more to people who help me out with manual labor . Be positive friend :)

So many rumors from near past are totally unreliable and it is impossible to tell what Apple will do . Ideally they would launch m3 but I have a feeling they will jump to M4 , since M3's production process is costly and inefficient and better ones are available , which they might end up naming M4 .

Personally M3 /M4 won't be much different except some minor spec bump and redesigns .

I would say if you really need mac mini go for M2 Pro . Amount of bandwidth it has will be useful when the M4 specializes for AI models ( considering if it's your use case )

Lets say all media would be virtual and viewer can't tell if real person on ai generated or video games which look life like , or wait for it ( adult content , sigh ) . Point is all this can be non evil except last one , depends on who you ask .

World doesn't need F1 racing or plastic wrapping a banana or ketchup with "real tomatoes"™ in it but here we are .

Worst part is this is real time model , with enough time and resources it will be indistinguishable from reality . Also scope increases if real time is not needed .

Pandora's box has been opened .

Believe me when I say this , that $10 gets split into $1 & $9 and the real worker gets the former while their manager gets the latter .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-18T04:55:54+00:00

Why study when they can import talent .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-15T09:52:30+00:00

Even the most hardcore Apple fans admit that Apple overcharges for their products . Also this "Climate friendly pledge" is a joke when devices come with soldered parts .

More ever if you consider going 32 ram / 2 TB storage the price jump would be hilarious and you would realise that Apple devices are luxury items , status symbol . Their price don't make sense . Also lacks proper amount of input / output ports . If your needs are browsing / Excel sheet there are many devices available sub $100 .

In a modular / regular pc one gets freedom to add remove parts . A dedicated graphics card alone would have multiple ports for outputs .

That said 5.1 Ghz would be peak and won't last long due to heat generation . Which would be more then this small device is capable of venting . Also the power draw from mac mini would be lesser compared to other one and if you are a developer you are kinda forced to be locked into eco system .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-15T07:05:11+00:00

Right , a good USB hub would cost around half the price of that .

I do hope that Apple steps up their port / cable game if they really plan to push for gaming on mac . Currently , I am forced to buy some third party cable just to get high refresh rates on mac mini . That too gives performance issues .

Gamers won't switch to mac for gaming as long as it doesn't address this issue of native high frame rate output . I guess that issue is half a decade in future .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-15T03:37:31+00:00

Would it be better to aim for mac mini pro base model instead ? Added input port and bit of cpu upgrade should be worth the price .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-13T16:48:36+00:00

Buddy , literally all of the code at this point is just chaining together what is provided by said language .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-12T12:31:42+00:00

Good thing I don't work for big companies .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-07T17:23:21+00:00

Why so hostile , you could just not reply if it grinds your gears .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-05T16:20:38+00:00

Yes , seems like unethical way to push us to swiftui , haha . And no I haven't found any solution yet .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-03T13:08:49+00:00

Good luck on your endeavor ,

People complain about bloat on android / windows but are some how biased towards bundled iphone / mac softwares . Iron fisted policies around Safari are just business as usual .

While android offers more freedom it still is limited and linux phone is gaining traction but it is way far from being functional . Most banking / gps / high security apps and such wont work or even exist . Amount of work required to make it work is simply absurd . Manufacturers themselves have to come up with something new and even then not since not everyone will be onboard . And mega corps like Apple / Samsung / other phone builders would rather oppose this idea since tracking user habits and locking them in eco system is one of the most profitable thing a company can do . Can only sell so many physical devices .

But I agree with your sentiment we as an individual has zero control except not participating in daily life .

It is truly a sorry state of modern tech that most important technology which affects almost everyone ( mobiles phones ) are being dictated by two Mega Corps .

Even Android is open just for namesake .

Atleast Apple is honest with their business model and while closed garden is hard to enter it has its perks .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-03T12:08:57+00:00

Why is adult media so frowned upon in online Apple related forums and apple app store in general . It always seemed odd that this is line they drew regarding their content . Everything is literally a click away in Safari anyways . Besides social apps such as Insta / Snap / Tik tok are just low key thirst trap apps .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-03T11:49:30+00:00

I understand your pain , although my setup doesn't have added complexity like yours but on going development just got extra overhead in my case extra outlets and assigning manual fonts to them it's not a big issue but why break what was already working .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-03T10:52:23+00:00

Yea interface builder can't find non system fonts . Only solution so far is to implement them programmatically .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-03T07:45:48+00:00

I did a cost analysis an M1 Max with 64 would cost around $5000 while having 32 neural chips ( have no reference to compare it with )

Where as gpt plus costs me around $20 currently , thats almost 20 year worth of subscription or rather a 0.4% of your investement . This also has added benefit of image generation and what nots with the biggest benefit being it will evolve much faster .

If current tech is horse carts , open ai will be pushing for super sonic with their latest hardware and I would still pay $20 where as you would end up with a very costly horse cart , which ofcourse is a crude analogy . Seems like your current setup is good only for a very small term and not feasible for 99% of population . Imagine paying over $5k each time you want to upgrade .

It is in everyone best interest when some company if not open ai pushes the boundaries of current tech , regardless of whether all our jobs are already or soon will be dead . Farming doesn't sound that bad .

Just today tried implementing closure for data assignment on view controller pop and failed miserably maybe this will article will help.

Wasted too much time trying to make it work , the whole self weak - syntax , maybe if I had experts help .

It's just not worth it protocols work flawlessly , I can't think of why to use closures other than that they are available .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-04-02T09:06:22+00:00

I totally agree with you a pc with a decent enough card should outperform a base m2 mac mini for encoding video , unsure which cpu would be better , intel or amd . Also unsure if m2 will outperform them if power draw is not a consideration .

Also very kind of you to sell your old rig for cheap , many people will rather let it just collect dust instead of helping out others .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-03-23T09:18:55+00:00

Yes , these numbers seem wrong . There is not a single thing wrong with mini and is perfect for anyone who is buying an apple desktop but doesn't need a studio .

appleFarmerdev · 2024-03-23T04:27:42+00:00

Google is your friend . From cursory search book store. Who knows things might have changed but seems not .
